Businesses are faced with multiple security threats, but there are measures you can take to help keep protected. If you’re running any part of your business from a physical space, there are tech solutions that can help keep your premise secure. And as more business processes continue to go digital, it’s vital that you understand how to prevent and respond to threats when operating online. Here, we look at how you can shore up your security with the help of tech.
Real-world protection
In order to help keep your physical assets safe, your business should be protected with at least an alarm system that monitors the security of doors and windows. Telstra has combined its mobile network with the security expertise of our partner’s at Sapio to produce Telstra Business Protect, an nbn-ready wireless alarm monitoring service that helps manage your business’s security when your work premises are unattended. It keeps your alarms wirelessly connected to the security monitoring centre via the Telstra Mobile Network.
